Room 002 Grocery Store

For the next month we will be learning all about grocery stores and what is needed for these stores to open each morning. The students are helping me plan this unit and they will be the ones to decide which direction we will go. Will we learn about where the produce comes from? Who stocks the shelves? What makes that conveyer belt move? I will be learning right along with them. Our days will start with a story about grocery stores followed by any questions they might have. I hope to have our own class grocery store open for business by next week. In the meantime, we will be building, stocking our shelves and have cash register training. We will have a guest speaker from a local grocery store later in March to answer any questions that might have been unanswered during our learning process.
